What are some "this person is probably a chud" online persona red flags that you go by that are more accurate than seeing an anime avatar?

Anime avatars are often a coin toss between (potential) comrade and chud, so it may be fun and maybe helpful to think about and share those in the place of that old

bellwether for chuddery.

Mine is anyone with ".eth" as a suffix in their online name. I have yet to see a single person that does that that isn't a chud.

It may even be cheating, but seeing an actual cryptofascist cartoon "original NFT do not steal" is a pretty reliable red flag too.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

Marble bust avatar is a more accurate indicator of fash than anime avatar imho. With an anime avatar you're rolling the dice between fash or transgender communist whereas 100% of marble bust guys are fascist.

I'm too lazy to scroll through this thread rn, but nothing non-chuddy has ever been posted on Twitter by someone whose username is just a first name and a bunch of random numbers. There's even a funny tweet about this phenomenon.
- There's a pretty good chance that those accounts are feds, bots, or bots run by feds. So yeah, checks out.

88 in usernames, or anything viking related

I'm gonna go with 'selfie with a tobacco pipe'
Smoke what you want how you want, but if your pfp is a selfie with a pipe I can't trust you

Statue avatar is a pretty reliable indication of a diehard NRx type or some chud aping the aesthetic without the theory. The chances of Bronze Age Pervert or Anissimov being a mutual is high, at least when they're between bans.
"Centrist" as ever is a pretty reliable indicator of giant Fascist.
Crypto or AI can sometimes just be a particularly brainwormed Bazinga lib, though less and less.
- Sorry off topic, but can I get a primer on just who/what Bronze Age pervert is?
  
  A giant Romanian Fascist that grew out of Cutis Yarvin's circle in the early 2010s, and LARPs as embodying the aesthetic ideal of a Homeric Hero. Vaguely ridiculous like all fash but no less dangerous for all that. His thesis is the standard fash shit of "Eternal irrational struggle vs nature and man for domination is the purpose of life, etc, etc."
  Basically, imagine if Evola had no talent and was a member of the 2016 era alt-right.

Anyone who unironically uses the word 'woke'
Anyone who is obsessed with punishing petty crime
Anyone obsessed with punishing kids

I don’t think it’s as popular now, but there’s the classic white marble statue pfp
- yeah I think marble or bronze busts in the room are a pretty good clue
  also if they have large sections of non-fiction leather bound books that could be a tip off, see the top 10 bestsellers here for example
  
  I have a room full of old vintage leather bound books because
  Uhhh
- Your provocations are futile because I am a stoike

'Classical liberal' for sure
Also idk if it indicates full chudness, but in my experience pretty much anyone who says they're 'socially liberal, fiscally conservative' is a whole lot less 'socially liberal' than they claim

I'm kinda late but using curse words in a nonpejorative context. Someone like catturd2 is a recent example but
had a bunch of these. They are still using them but they aren't as frequent these days.
- this is piss pig discrimination

Car Selfie is a sign you're in for a bad time.
- sunglasses, a goatee, and looks like a thumb = get ready for the worst take you've ever heard.

Hating furries
- The last person I knew who hated furries, I actually had a good conversation with him about it. Convinced him it was a shitty and reactionary take
